Just had to share this with you. Not to be bragging, but our youngest son, who is divorced,and single, lives on his own, retired from the army and works a full time job.He was in line at Walmart and the woman ahead of him had some food and some small Christmas toys on the belt. She kept asking the cashier what the total was. She stopped when she didn't have anymore money to buy the rest. My son overheard her telling the cashier that her son was in hospital with cancer and this was his last Christmas. She really wanted to get a rubiks cube , because that was all he wanted. Our son noticed that the rubiks cube and a few other toys were left on the belt. He then told the cashier to go after the woman, because he was putting the rest of her order on his bill. She came back crying and thanking him and that he didn't have to do that. All Greg said was "you enjoy Christmas with your son". Does that make a parent proud when your adult child,( he is 47) does something wonderful for someone he doesn't even know, and probably will never run into again. Thanks for listening. Hugs to you all. Merry Christmas. Lynn

Thank you, Kim. He is always giving someone something. He will go without first in order for someone else to have something. He even donates to the local dog pound here, every year. Takes in a huge bag of dog food and blankets for their pens. He just lost his dog of 14 years this summer. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hugs Lynn
